Treating Han Qi, Li Ze didn't take it too seriously, and when he arrived at the main account of the Chinese army, he only sat on the left and right, which made Han Qi feel a little more comfortable. Li Mi served the fragrant tea that had just been brewed, and Han Qi only took a slight sip and put it aside.

"Grand Governor, now that His Majesty the Emperor is trapped in Luzhou, according to their current strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break out of the encirclement on their own, now it is not only Wei Bo Zhaoyi's army that is encircling them, but at this moment, even Zhu Youzhen is also mobilizing troops to encircle them on all sides, the situation is extremely critical, please ask the Chief Administrator to instruct, what should we do next?" Han Qi looked at Li Ze eagerly.

If it weren't for his lack of strength, Li Ze believed that Han Qi would have sent troops to fight him a long time ago.

"Han Shuai doesn't have to worry, you must know that not only His Majesty the Emperor is trapped in Luzhou, but also my mother, wife, and son, where are they! If you want to say urgent, I am more urgent than Han Shuai. Li Ze said: "But no matter how anxious you are, you must have a charter and a plan to do things, otherwise, if you want to hurry, you won't be able to achieve it, but it will be bad." ”

"Han came to Xingzhou in a hurry, just to know what Li Shuai's charter is?" Han Qi rushed out.

"Han Shuai, the Zhaoyi Bureau has developed into its current appearance in less than a year, which is really beyond my expectations. Among them, Tian Chenghe's death was even more unexpected. Li Ze sighed: "Originally, I thought that after Wei Bo won Zhaoyi, he would not merge with Zhu Wen in a short time, but would become an independent individual, so that we would have a lot of room for maneuver, but I never thought that a small soldier and a crossbow arrow would make the famous generation of generals die in such a wretched manner." ”

Speaking of Tian Chenghe's death, Han Qi also felt the same way.

"Caught off guard, we are not prepared!" Li Zedao: "Of course Han Shuai knows that after we finished the two battles in Zhuozhou and Youzhou, the army was really tired, and at this time Zhang Zhongwu in Pingzhou was ready to move, we had to face the battle, the two were mixed, and we were really powerless for the change in Zhaoyi for a while." ”

"Now the chief manager has summoned me over, but has he relieved himself?" Han Qi understands that Li Ze's foreshadowing is naturally for the next step to get to the point.

"It's hard to say that it's going to be slow, but I've done a lot of preparation." Li Zedao: "Han Shuai saw General You, and he may have understood a lot in his heart, in the past few months, we have mobilized 100,000 government soldiers in Wuwei. ”

Han Qi's heart shrank.

Li Ze said it lightly, but it was like thunder in his ears, in just two months, he was able to mobilize 100,000 government soldiers, and this scale and this kind of mobilization force represented the strong combat effectiveness of Wuwei.

"But it will take a certain amount of time for the 100,000 government soldiers to be fully in place and form combat effectiveness, so now, I need Han Shuai's great help!" Li Ze continued.

"What does the Grand Master need me to do? Our department is ready to launch an attack on Luzhou at any time. "On the point of attacking Luzhou, Han Qi was unequivocal.

"Before our overall deployment is in place, all attacks can only be contained, and it is impossible to form a big threat to Luzhou controlled by Tian Yue." Li Zedao: "Tian Yue himself is very aware of the importance of Luzhou to himself and to Wei Bo, and now he has begun to shrink his forces on a large scale, and his main force has shrunk to the vicinity of Luzhou, and the defense line is not to say impregnable, but there are indeed no major flaws to be found." If you want to take Luzhou, there are not many other ways than to attack hard. ”

"Grand Governor, our strength in Hedong, plus your current strength in Xingzhou, is enough to fight this battle." Han Qi emphasized.

"Then have you considered Zhu Youzhen?" Li Ze asked rhetorically: "We have made a mess in Luzhou, but we have not made great progress, so what should we do after Zhu Youzhen's troops arrive?" ”

Han Qi paused for a moment: "What does the chief manager think should we do?" ”

"As Han Shuai, you said earlier, our first task is to rescue His Majesty the Emperor, so Tian Yue's shrinking forces are not without benefits to us. I'm going to concentrate all the cavalry for use. Li Ze looked directly at Han Qi, "So now, I need all the cavalry under Han Shuai." ”

"All the cavalry?" Han Qi was stunned.

Li Ze nodded: "Yes, Min Rou slaughtered 3,000 people in Lichun's department, my personal Weiyi from 3,000 people, I also transferred 5,000 of Li De's rangers from Liu Chenglin's command, and transferred 5,000 of his main cavalry force from Zhang Jia, I know that Han Shuai still has 5,000 cavalry under him, and now I need them." ”

"The Grand Governor wants to assemble a cavalry force of more than 20,000 men?" Han Qi was a little dumbfounded.

"Not bad." Li Zedao: "The 20,000 cavalry has two functions, one, they need to use their mobility ability to outflank and rescue His Majesty the Emperor." Another role is to deal with Zhu Youzhen. ”

"I understand it very well to save His Majesty the Emperor, but simply using cavalry to deal with Zhu Youzhen, I don't quite understand, there are many cities in Zhaoyi, and cavalry can't be used to attack cities." Han Qi said.

"Grain Road." Li Ze said with a smile. "The Xuanwu army is in the Central Plains, Heluo, Guanzhong and China, relying on what, relying on the wealth of the Central Plains, rich in grain and grass reserves, and more importantly, he controls the canal, using the criss-crossing canal arteries, he can send grain and grass supplies to his army in a timely manner. But when it comes to Zhaoyi, it's not so convenient. The complicated terrain and inconvenient transportation will bring great trouble to his grain and grass transportation, and I will attack with the cavalry everywhere to attack his grain route, forcing him to send more soldiers to maintain the safety of the grain route, and then our cavalry will scatter or gather, and constantly annihilate his troops according to the form, and accumulate a lot, and over time, the enemy will be able to destroy a considerable number of living forces. Moreover, if the grain route is unstable, their military spirit will inevitably be unstable, and when we complete the deployment, we can launch a thunderous blow, not only to take down Tian Yue in Luzhou, but also to take Zhu Youzhen in one go. ”

Staring at Han Qi, Li Ze said: "Then we can completely control the Zhaoyi region, to the east, completely take Wei Bo, coerce Xuanwu, and to the south, seal the north gate of Luoyang, Chang'an." Grabbed the traitor Zhu Wen by the throat. ”

Han Qi suddenly realized, what he was thinking about was to rescue the emperor, and Li Ze's heart was thinking about taking the entire Zhaoyi region, and swallowing Zhu Youzhen's troops in one go, this time was very good, because Zhu Wen was currently bent on taking Chang'an, a highly symbolic political center.

If Li Ze's idea is fully realized, then even if Zhu Wen occupies Luoyang, the economic center, Chang'an, the political center, and has the fertile land of Qinchuan for 800 miles, he is still suppressed by Li Ze in terms of strategy.

Oh, there are still some differences, at least Xuanwu is much stronger than force.

But there is Wuwei in the north, and those festival towns in the south, will Haoqiang be convinced by Zhu Wen?

Of course not.

They all sneered at the orthodox emperor, let alone a traitor like Zhu Wen.

"The chief manager has almost withdrawn almost all the cavalry under General Liu's command, so what about the war in the north? Pingzhou, Yingzhou, Liaozhou and other places, if there is no large-scale cavalry, I am afraid that the battle will be difficult to fight! Han Qi asked.

"Han Shuai is too worried." Li Ze smiled: "Zhang Zhongwu is not stupid, will he choose to die with me at this time?" He wishes that I would mobilize the main force to go south to fight Zhu Wen to the death, so that he has the strength to rest and recuperate! Does Han Shuai know what kind of situation Zhang Zhongwu is in now? ”

Han Qi shook his head.

"He's not having a good time, either." Li Zedao: "Yingzhou Liaozhou, the territory is vast, the population is scarce, but the land there is indeed fertile, but Zhang Zhongwu is not enough, so where the slaves began to prevail, Zhang Zhongwu captured local savages on a large scale, Zahu became slaves, and sold slaves from the sea, in addition, they supported the king of Goguryeo in Goguryeo and fought with Tan Daoji, the minister of Goming Liyeo, a month ago, Tan Daoji was defeated, and more than 80,000 people became prisoners, and all of these captives were captured by Zhang Zhongwu and went to Liaozhou, Yingzhou, Then he was sold to those big landowners and became slaves to the land reclamation. It expropriated and seized a lot of wealth in Goguryeo, but at the same time, it also made the people of Goguryeo boiling, where there is oppression, is there resistance? Goguryeo did not succumb because of this defeat, but the rebels became more and more, so that Zhang Zhongwu could not maintain a large number of troops in Goguryeo, and to maintain law and order in Yingzhou, Liaozhou and other places, a large number of troops are needed, at least at this stage from this year to next year, Zhang Zhongwu also does not have the strength to have a big battle with me, which is why I dare to transfer Li De's cavalry troops back. ”

"I see!" Han Qi suddenly realized.

"When we seal the exit of Zhu Wen to the north and hold them in place, I will turn around and completely take down Zhang Zhongwu. Han Shuai, you understand what I mean now, right? It is not difficult to save the emperor. The difficult thing is how to return the Tang Dynasty to a good place! I wonder if Han Shuai is willing to endure the pain of cutting his love? ”

"Who is the commander of the 20,000 cavalry?" Han Qi asked a key question.

"Who is Han Shuai going to send?" Li Qi asked rhetorically.

Han Qi pondered for a moment, Li Cunzhong couldn't move, so only Han Rui was left.

"Han Rui!"

"That's good, Min Rou is the main general, Tu Lichun and Han Rui are the vices. Does Han Shuai think this arrangement is appropriate? Li Ze said with a smile.

"That's very good." Han Qi relaxed slightly. "After I go back, I will ask Han Rui to lead his troops to report to the general manager, and at the same time, my Hedong Army will also launch an attack on Luzhou."

"Of course, I, Shi Zhuangbu, will also attack at the same time."
